I Got Nothing.

    Have you ever had one of those weeks when you're just dying to get out and you can't? I'm there. I can't even hang in the backyard, our dog has been too sick. I come here looking for some relief and I can't find any new posts. I can't make any posts myself except for this cry baby one because I've got nothing. Aching to get on here and mix it up... again, nothing. So I apologize for wasting your time, I just needed to be part of this forum this morning. Oh, by the way, if you read this far in this 'nothing' post, you are an amazing person. My compliments to you!

    Don't feel bad, I have been in the same funk for a month. Not that I haven't been busy, I just don't have anything to show for all my time.

    I've been in that pattern for a few weeks. I feel your pain.

    What can we do here? I mean when a night in the backyard just to get in your gear doesn't pan out... WHAT DO WE DO? LOL... not really.

    I guess there are jobs that require people to work. Holidays like Memorial Day, 4th, Labor day, Christmas are all holidays that should be held in higher esteem by our employers. If your job isn't life and death, you should have it off. How are we suppose to, remember, honor, worship and be thankful if 'the man' has us under thumb at the wheel? Killeroy, I'm sorry you have to work. I wish we were out camping.

    I set up in the living room and tell my wife " The kids needed to build a fort."

    I'm in a funk from moving at all, teacher fatigue at the end of the year. Signing up for some local hikes to make myself move!

    A future hike or camping trip is something to look forward to. Sometimes just knowing that you are going on a hike or something, whether it's a week or even a month away can boost your spirits and give you that little push of excitement. I always pour over maps or even look at something like Google maps at the terrain or lakes. Even a simple day trip.

    I know what y'all mean about being in a funk, rut or the likes. We had so much rain here, and predicted more, that it's muddy and our bicycling green belt is washed out. 25ee3df49ac9e84ee18089106ebb6932.jpg The water is out of the creek banks and over the trail, and it's my wife's birthday. Oh well. It'll get better. Humm hang in there.

    What you say is so true, anticipation is a great ride in and of itself. My dog is sick, we are not sure how much longer we will have her. We rescue old sick dogs that the Humane Society wants to put down. We have vowed to give these dogs the best possible life they could have for the remainder of their days/months/years. (So I'll say right off, we have made our beds and we know it) My cry baby point is, I can't even make plans. We have had this dog for four years. It's like they know what was going to happen and why it didn't. They are so loving and great full, it is just impossible not to love them. That feeling I have for them makes me stay home. I'm not complaining...just venting. Feel free to tell me to stop whinning, I'll shut it.

    But I soooo want to get out there...

    I shouldn't be volunteering people other than myself, at the risk of getting my backend kicked, Killeroy has a good deal of experience with talk tap, he maybe of good use to you if something throws you.

    Say, what level of students and what subject matters do you instruct?

    The last dog we had was a pomeranian. He was my son born beside our bed. Been gone over a year. I still miss him.

    Kindergarten, teach em everything possible with the short time I have em, and try to counteract as much of what they live with as I can. Demographics where I teach are sad.

    Sorry to hear about your dog. I recently lost a family member. Her name is Deedee and she loved to cuddle and watch TV. 29ce08a2cdc5ed2b51321c05040c73d0.jpg

    I applaud you for what you do. I have four kids and I couldn't imagine a class room full of them.
